Easter 2010

Happy Easter!

The kids loved the auto-picture function on the camera. I think we got some of the best family pictures we've attempted in a long time! They loved the anticipation of the flashing red light and were anxious to see if I'd make it back to the family before the blinking stopped and the camera clicked!! The wonders of technology. Cheeeeeeeese.

We had a great Easter filled with colored eggs, rabbit books, candy, and most importantly, many discussions about the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Benson is excited for Spring break to be over and to get back to school. In his words, "I LOVE SCHOOL!!" Hopefully that excitement will last for another 12+ years!

Claire's been having issues with her dialysis catheter this weekend. She has an infection on the outside of it and has been on antibiotics since Tuesday. But it doesn't seem to be getting better. It's been bothering her a lot this weekend. She's normally doesn't touch her catheter at all, but the past few days we've been hearing the words "my catheter hurts" again and again. She's been picking at it a little, but I'm sure it's because it really is bothering/hurting her. She wouldn't just do that just because. Tomorrow we'll have the doctor check it out but my guess is that they will most likely remove the catheter some time this week. We've been keeping it in for blood work so she doesn't have to get poked 1-2 times a week for labs, but I think it has just about filled it's purpose. The cuff that's supposed to hold the catheter to the inside of her skin has also come out, so I really don't think they'll keep it in long at all. We'll see what the week brings.
